~City of Santa Ana B. All emergency transportation personnel assigned by CONTRACTOR or by the Mutual Aid Provider to perform 9-1-1 Emergency Transportation Services under this Agreement shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Transportation Personnel". C. Without limiting CONTRACTOR's obligation to comply with all of its duties and obligations under the Contract Documents, the 9-1-1 Emergency Transportation Services to be provided by CONTRACTOR shall include, but shall not be limited to, each of the following: 1. First Tier Service. Contractor will provide with its own forces a sufficient number of fully equipped ambulances and Transportation Personnel, so as to provide, in accordance with industry standards and this RFP, all of the CITY OF SANTA ANA's needs for 9-1-1 Emergency Transportation Service, being able to respond 24 hours a day 7 days a week to all 911 and other emergencies as required (the "First Tier Service" or "First Tier"). The First Tier Service will be designed by Contractor so as to ensure that there are enough of Contractor's own ambulances and Transportation Personnel available to meet 100% of the anticipated number of calls for 9-1-1 Emergency Transportation Service in the CITY OF SANTA ANA. The First Tier Service shall meet the response times and all other requirements of this RFP for the 9-1-1 Emergency Transportation Service. Each year thereafter, for the duration of the Term of the proposed Contract, Contractor will be required to re-evaluate the level of coverage being provided, so as to ensure it is providing the required level of coverage. 2. Mutual Aid Service. Contractor will also enter into a mutual aid agreement with a separate qualified ambulance service provider doing business in Orange County, to provide backup services in the event the First Tier Service is unable to respond to a call for Emergency Services (hereinafter "Mutual Aid Contract," "Mutual Aid Service," "Mutual Aid Service" or "Mutual Aid"). The company providing the ST Mutual Aid Service will be hereinafter referred to as the "Mutual Aid Provider." In providing 9-1-1 Emergency Transportation Services the Mutual Aid Provider must meet the same RFP requirements, response times, and otherwise provide the same level of service, as Contractor is required to provide under the Contract. The Mutual Aid Contract and the Mutual Aid Provider must be approved by the CITY OF SANTA ANA and the OCFA prior to provision of any service by Contractor, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. The intent of this RFP is that Contractor will provide a sufficient level of coverage under the First Tier Service, such that services under the Mutual Aid Service will only be needed in rare circumstances, if at all. Contractor will be solely responsible for paying the Mutual Aid Provider for any services rendered under the Mutual Aid, which amount will be the Mutual Aid Provider's sole compensation for services rendered under the Mutual Aid.
